I agree that her lectures are very unorganized and all over the place. You're better off just reading the book yourself. But going to lectures helps to see where her focus is and catch the main themes which she stresses throughout the course. For the final and midterm she stressed what she would focus on and ask questions. TA's are helpful and help make the test questions which is good because students can have a say too. Finally, I really enjoyed the paper assignment because it made me put a relative's life into the context of history and therefore my life today. Overall she has good intentions but given the short amount of lecture time doesn't do her lectures justice.
